What is recorded here

Recorded by Wakeman (1886, 277-78; 1893, 102-103) as standing on the Clocha Breaca leacht (SL001-001013-). Wakeman describes a ‘second stone which has been set upright in ‘Cloca-breaca’ … part of a pillar of rude construction and inconsiderable size. It is much weather worn; so much so that it seems difficult to determine whether it had been carved or otherwise.’ This stone was not found during the 1997-99 survey by O’Sullivan and Ó Carragáin; its current whereabouts are unknown. The above description is derived from the results of a survey of the archaeological monuments on Inishmurray undertaken in 1997-1999 and published in: Jerry O’Sullivan and Tomás Ó Carragáin 2008 Inishmurrary. Monks and pilgrims in an Atlantic landscape. Volume 1: Archaeological Survey and Excavations 1997-2000. Cork. The Collins Press. Date of upload: 16 January 2018
